This is the build-along course for the workflow Turn LinkedIn post reactions into AI content ideas in Google Sheets. Follow it node by node, live, to re-create the automation from scratch. Every prompt, expression and value is in a copy-paste code block.

What you will build

Every day, the workflow pulls the LinkedIn posts you reacted to, keeps only the recent ones, asks GPT to reframe each one into an original content idea (angle, hook, takeaway, format, hashtags), and saves everything into a Google Sheet — with no duplicates.
